The Rust-written Redox OS open-source operating system is now able to leverage Cargo and the Rust compiler "rustc" itself running within this platform. Plus they also made a heck of a lot of other improvements too over the course of the past month. Today they published a status update to outline all of the promising advancements made to this independent OS so far in 2026.
As a big milestone reached in January, Cargo and the rustc compiler are now working on Redox itself. You are now able to compile your favorite Rust command-line and text user interface (TUI) programs on Redox. Redox developers achieved success on their third attempt to get the Rust compiler and Cargo running under Redox.
